VIDEO: Dramatic rescue on Edisto Beach

The Edisto Beach Police Department posted the following message on their Facebook page not long after the rescue.

"I want to keep you updated as much as I can. The wind is between 30 and 40 MPH with stronger gusts. We have heavy rain and the tide is running high. Conditions should continue to deteriorate throughout the morning. High tide is shortly afternoon and we can expect the storm surge to move in around that time. Power is going on and off and I would expect to lose it soon. If you are on the island, you should stay inside and move to the middle of your home away from windows. If you are off the islands, say a prayer for everyone that has been affected by this storm."
